DESCRIPTION Loudspeaker processor with 2 inputs and 6 outputs designed to process and adapt the audio signal to the characteristics of the P.A. system speakers offering an independent signal in each output. It incorporates equalization, frequency divider, gain control, limiter, delay and mute functions. CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS FRONT PANEL 1.- CLIP and input level meters: LED indicators for the signal level in inputs A and B.
BACK PANEL 1.- AC INPUT: for connecting AC power supply cable. 2.- AES/EBU DIGITAL INPUT: digital AES/EBU type input, XLR connector. 3.- ETHERNET: port for connecting to a computer, RJ-45 connector. 4.- OUTPUTS 1-6: channel output connectors, XLR connector. 5.- INPUTS A-B: channel A and B input connectors, XLR connector. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE GENERAL INFORMATION When you switch the equipment on, the current configuration is shown on the display:...
INPUT CONFIGURATION The different input process functions can be set: GAIN, EQ, DELAY. To access the configuration menus press the IN button and choose the different process functions with the (a, d) selection buttons. GAIN For adjusting the signal level in each input individually. Note: as the gain is adjusted digitally, the user can select the desired input level, but has to be careful and not select too high a volume and saturate the signal.

- Filter types (PEAK, LOW SH, HIGH SH). For selecting the filter type to be applied: Peaking Low shelving High shelving - Bypass. For deactivating the chosen filter. - Central frequency/ cutoff frequency (Hz). For choosing the central frequency of the peaking filter or the cut off frequency of the high pass or low pass filters.
- DELAY. For applying a delay to the input. To set the delay, follow the instructions below: - Press the IN button and using the (a, d) selection buttons, choose the DELAY option on the menu ( INA Delay or INB Delay will appear on the display). - Press the IN button again to change between input A and input B.

HPF & LPF A high pass filter and low pass filter is allowed in each output. Each output has two displays, one for each filter, where the output number and filter type appear. To set the low and high pass filters, follow the instructions below: - Press the OUT button and using the (a, d) selection buttons, choose the LPF or HPF option from the menu (OPx HPF or OPx LPFwill appear on the display).
- Press the OUT button and using the (a, d) selection buttons, choose the POLARITY option on the menu (OPx Polarity will appear on the display). - Press the OUT button again to change between different outputs. - Press ENTER. - Turn the ENTER control wheel to select normal or reverse polarity (insert a 180º...
To load another setting, follow the instructions below: - Press the LOAD button. - Select the configuration that you want to load using the (a, d) buttons. 10 base configurations are included (starting with the letter F, F00 to F09) and there are 70 memory banks available that can be editted by the user (starting with the letter U, U00 to U69).

- Output meters: For choosing whether the point that the output level indicator signal is taken from is before or after the MUTE button. To set the point that the output level indicator signal is taken from, follow the instructions below: - Press the UTIL button and use the (a, d) selection buttons to choose the MISC SETUP option from the menu.
- UART ID number: Shows the number of the system connected to the installation. - Noise gate: For activating or deativating the noise gate. If the noise gate is activated, there will be no input signal while the input signal level does not exceed the noise threshold. If the input signal level is higher than the noise gate, it will let the input signal pass.
